After he had gotten breakfast and his guardian had left he crawled to the ukuta on the opposite side of the room. He had to be very quiet, because he knew she wasn’t the only one who could hear him. The other Wanyonya damu had a very good hearing too. He lay his hands on the ukuta and whispered: “Caroline?” No response. “Caroline” a little harder, but still soft.
Caroline lifted her head and opened her ears. No way! That was not possible. When Amber alisema there were others Caroline assumed she was talking about vampires, not werewolves.
“Tyler? Is that you?” she asked.
“Yeah, but keep your voice down” Tyler warned. “If wewe can hear me, so can the rest of your kind”
“Right” Caroline said. “When did wewe get here?”
“About two weeks ago” Tyler answered.
“Then they must’ve taken us around the same time” Caroline concluded. “Do wewe know what they’re up to? What they want from us?”
“Well, I can be wrong” Tyler started. “But I think it has something to do with the full moon”
For a few sekunde it was completely silent at the other side.
“Were wewe trying to be sarcastic?” Caroline asked eventually.
“Eh, yeah, kind of” Tyler said, making Caroline laugh.
“I’m sorry” Caroline said. “It’s not funny… at all. I’m starving and they refuse to give any blood. How can we be useful when we’re starved to death?”
“Obvious. When they release wewe when you’re really hungry, you’ll kill zaidi people” Tyler said.
“By that time I’ll be too weak to do anything. It would be impossible for me to kill anyone” Caroline said.
“Not if they bring the chakula to you” Tyler alisema after another few silent seconds.
